Interesting strategy you have with making China an ally instead of trying to conquer her. Still, if you are going to go against the Ruskie, build as many tanks as you can. I only have two more things to say, Tora Tora Tora and... UPDATE!

Major Setback
-Alas, I was playing one of my other games (Italy, in case you haven't noticed, my favorite nations to play are Axis "minors", Japan,Italy, Romania, etc), and being in a hurry to leave, instead of saving on Il Duce, I overwrote my JapanAAR. Meaning that game is lost,,, I think there is a lesson in there somewhere, like always back up your AAR game files.
Never fear though, since so many people enjoy my humble writings, I will definately continue this, and I guess if there is any good news, its that I will be able to update to the newest Core NAVAL, that is supposed to have major gameplay improvements.
I have a few options as to how to continue, Id like to see what you all think I should do.
-Option #1, I just start the new game and play until roughly the same point (1 or 2 months before attack on U.S.A), throw up a new Order of Battle, and pretend nothing ever went wrong
-Option #2, I "start" over in 1936, and chronicle all my battles from January 36, until sometime in 1941-42. Which will cover the same time span in game terms that the previous battles have all been fought in, and then continuing.
I guess it depends on how long y'all want to wait until you see some Japanese vs U.S.A naval action.
Either way, the format stays the same (except Ill try to improve it with each post), the battles stay the same, the OrBats, etc etc. What do y'all think I should do?

It doesnt matter to me. I just need more of your AARs...
I was inspired by your AAR and I started a game in 1936 as Japan. My game crashed in 1940 and I hadnt saved in awhile...

hmmm,
Well, Ill do this then.
I am going to update to core v.81, which has a few naval changes. Then I will restart from 1936 , and then play the game out until 1942, or War with the U.S, whichever comes first. Then I will pick up with the Order of Battle updates, and the battles.
OF Course, since its a *new game*, the Map will be different, my ships will probably be different, etc etc. So I hope there isnt alot of confusion. It will take me probably until Tuesday to get up to 1942/War with U.S and it will probably be Wednesday until I can post the Order of Battle, and the first Japan vs U.S Battle.
So there it is,,,

I´m sorry that you overwrote your save file.
But if you just continue to write AARs i´m happy.

His Imperial Japanese Majesty's Yamato has been fully fitted out and now sails in 1.Battle Kaigun under Grand Admiral Yamamto Isoroku.
- I choose to post this OrBat at this time in game, because The British are (apparently) sending over half their bloody fleet. Therefore there will be some relatively large battles in the near future. I suppose the Brits will be a test run of how the Americans will be.
-As you can see, in the restarted game after the original save game was lost, I have done a few things differently.
* I left Siam alone, and have brutally assaulted and annexed Nationalist China, and have pushed into Burma/India
*I have spent alot more on Battleship construction, my goal is to reach at least 20 Battleships, at least 2 or 3 of them being Yamato class.

vigilantsldr said:What is Iraq doing in the AXIS?
I think it was event triggered, I vaguely remember something about an airport conflict or something.
vigilantsldr said:What is Iraq doing in the AXIS?
Well, actually in 1941 there was a coup by a pro-Nazi Iraqi (prime?) minister. They would have joined the Axis except Winston immediately sent an army which quickly beat the crap out of the fascists. Some of the members of that coup group later went on to found the Ba'ath party of Saadam Hussien fame... surprise, surprise
.I like this game a bit better, the resourse of China can now be fully used in your naval war machine. Also, PLEASE stay out of the fight with the Commies. You can't Go North and Go South at the same time. You must either fight the Allies or fight the Reds... and since this is a naval aar, I would suggest the former
. Neutrality at all cost when it comes to fighting Rus!
vigilantsldr said:What is Iraq doing in the AXIS?
Being the evil terrorist regime they are, it's only a natural choice
Good job, Quintis!
Ha, looks like this time you will have some more toys at your disposal - IC 691? Nice... Is it V.Hard/"Bring it on!" ?
I can only say that it's better to not poke the bear with a stick and try to stay neutral in the inevitable German-Soviet conflict (there is a pack of events that allow you to stay out of this war). Fighting two front land war (India/Manchuria) is too much even for you I'm affraid...
